8/17 On the topic of books, can anyone recommend any OpenGL programing
books (possible 184 students might know) and where I could obtain
linux libraries so I can write C programs?
\_ opengl is dead. go learn directx instead.-gates
\_"OpenGL Programming Guide, Second Edition", The official Guide
to Learning OpenGL, Version 1.1, Woo, Neider, Davis
Addison-Wesley, 1997).
\_ As for "Linux libraries," you will be able to build them
from the source code for Mesa, a software-only implementation
of the OpenGL stuff. Check out ftp://iris.ssec.wisc.edu/pub/Mesa/
and see if it's What You Want. -- tmonroe
\_ Do you need special 3d video cards to exploit these
libraries?

8/17 Sorry for my ignorance. But what happened to the parking
meters in Berkeley?
\_ IT'S ALL KEN STARR'S FAULT!!!!1!! BUT IGNORE IT, AND
LET SHIRLEY DEAN GET BACK TO THE BUSINESS OF RUNNING
BERKELEY.
\_ Starr was investigating my improper relationship with MOTD,
too. That asshole!!!
\_ Berkeley(tm) realized that they couldn't keep up with
the vandals so they're gonna replace them with super-duper
robo-mega-indestructo-meters that can still be ruined with
bubble gum or a caulk-gun.
\_ A junior high kid did a school report where she timed the
meters for accuracy and found that the digital meters are far
more accurate (only 1 in 10 of the old ones were deemed
accurate). It made the news and got a lot of publicity, so
Berkeley is going to replace all their meters with digital
ones.
\_ The real answer is they got stolen because the old meters were
fucked and ripping people off and some good citizen didn't want
to get fucked anymore so took justice into their own hands. My
only regret in my entire life is I wasn't a part of the meter
theft. -been roobed by Berkeley meters too many times
\_ Well, the girl's report actually showed that the meters
were roobing the city, not the other way around. You just suck.
